THE PUBLIC INQUIRY CLOSES
On 14th August, the Closing Statements were made at the Rights of Way Public Inquiry held at Woolton Golf Club (see previous Newsletters). Both we and the City Council argued that a right of way had been established years ago between Acrefield Road and Woolton Park via Glenacres, as a result of the unhindered movement of pedestrians and the absence of any signage or physical barriers.
The Byron Court Management Company - who built a wall across the path in 2016 - described the Gateacre Society's evidence (including the 56 User Evidence Forms filled in by local residents, detailing the frequency and purpose of their journeys along the path over a period of 40 years) as "unreliable", reflecting "an over exuberance to win a cause". We know that this was not the case, and we are confident that the Inspector - whose job it is to decide whether or not to confirm the path's status as a Public Right of Way - will be fully capable of distinguishing the fact from the fantasy.
